IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 5S, l 92; dated September 18, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

I`Be it known that I, JoHN R. MICKEY, of Chicago, in the county ot` Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Churns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, and letters of reference marked thereon, making' a part ot'this specification, Vin which- Figure l is a perspective representation of my churn. Fig, 2 is a plan View of one ofthe cog-dashers.

The object of my invention is to provide a` convenient churn of compact form, which is to be used more especially in the manufacture of butter from milk; and its nature consists in the use of two or more upright cog-flashers, operating together in the barrel of the churn in such a manner as to produce friction-pressure upon the milk` when passing between the dashers, and also properly agita-te the milk in all parts of the churn. By this arrangement the milk will pass in a continuous current between the dashers, by which means butter is separated from the milk in much less time than by means ot' a-ny churn now in use of as simple construction. i

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invent-ion, I will describe. the

sired; but it should conform to the size of the dashers used.

B B show the cogdashers, having at the top and bottom suitable bearings,so arranged that the dashers will revolve when power is applied to the shat't C.

E shows the wings or cogs, which mesh together, the dasher B drawing the dasher B.

The cogs E maybe made of any length; but the proprtion shown at Fig. 2 will be i'ound practical in most cases and answer the desired purpose.

The dashers B should be made of iirm hard wood, and set at such a distance apart as will allow them to be easily turned. y

Operation: The cream or milk can be put in the churn in the usual manner, after which power must be applied to the shaft C in order to give the requisite motion to the dashers B.

Care must be taken when gathering or workrlhe combination of the cog-flashers B B when constructed substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
